WINGS

I want to fly, past the sky into space witness the cosmic supernovas and hypernovas

I want to feel the constellations, from Leo to Aquarius

Various stars, different shapes and colours,

Great galaxies that make this universe of ours,

I thank the Lord for the knowledge and how empowered,

People of earth are

Learning takes great pain; it leaves us with these scars,

No pain no gain

As I work on every feather, putting together my wings.

I want to fly past the seen horizon to unexplored territory,

I want to quench each and every thirst of my minds depository,

Exploring new frontiers like researchers and scientists,

Classifying knowledge in various categories,

Mysteries of flying will be a distant memory,

That’s why I’m working and gluing each and every feather,

As I glue together my wings.

I want to fly past the conventional,

What society and those around see as intentional,

Sensational achievements will not come by themselves

I want to fly into the history books on bookshelves

To leave a mark, better world than I found

Feeling the flapping and the sound

As I stick each and every weather, putting together

My wings
